The date of Aug 1, 1905 is the date this new document was created in Ariano.

Yes, they are talking about the city of Marseilles in France. France is divided into departments (not provinces like Italy). The department listed in the record is Bocche del Rodano. (see this wikipedia listing, which will also show you the city of Marsiglia on the map-http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsiglia

The date of the letter is July 29th not the 19th-

you have the correct date of death- her home via Casseria, number 30 is correct

I have a problem with the times listed, as Marseilles and Ariano have the same current time, if you search the internet. Also it says "alle ore tre della sera" at 3 in the evening??? This is strange to me. I assume they mean 3 P.M.

Also it says "nel suo domicilio, in via Casseria numero trenta, cessava di vivere la predetta"-- literally this translates as "in her domicile, in via Casseria number 30, ceased to live the above mentioned"-so where is this address located-in Marsiglia? I found a street map for that city, but all of the street names appear to be in French, and not in Italian, so I am trying to find a street map to show me that it is located in Ariano. Now I am confused as to whether she died in Marsiglia or in Ariano.

The occupations giornaliero and giornaliera-mean "day laborer" (the first is masculine and the second is feminine)
